31 Dec 1 B.C. + 1 day = 1 Jan 1 A.D.
 

YEAH!! Especially considering Christ was born 25th Dec ....
so those last few days of 1 B.C. WEREN'T anything B.C.!!
;-P

 
But there were those Gregorian correction to the Julian
Calendar!

 
Ah!! So are YOU, asswipe, now claiming that 25th Dec 1 B.C.
(Gregorian Calendar) was equivalent to 1st Jan 1 A.D. (Julian
Calendar), asswipe?? Or the other way around, Calendar wise!!
 
Might it be out of place for me to state "I DON'T THINK SO,
asswipe!!"

 
And when did the Gregorian calender come into effect Idlehands
Paedo-mouth Redbeard?

 
Where? It was introduced in different countries in different
years.

 
I’m not sure what all this focus on calendars has to do with
anything anyway. The setting of the beginning of 1 AD is arbitrary.
 
If the Biblical Jesus even existed, the only available evidence on
the YEAR of his birth is contradictory even within the Bible and the
closest guess scholars make is “somewhere between 4 and 6 BC”.
 
Let alone the month or day of it, which is a complete unknown as the
writers of the Gospels didn’t bother to include any such information
and there are no external records to cover it.
 

Haley's Comet (The Star from The East, maybe) was around in 4 B.C., off
the top of my head!
 
December-January is Winter'ish in Israel, isn't it?? Fine time of year
for Shepards to be out in the fields, tending their sheep!!

12 BC was the nearest occurrence of Halley’s - recorded by Chinese
astronomers and Roman historians. The Wise Men must have been hanging
around for quite a while if that was their Star.

Winter in the Middle East is fairly mild. The sheep there do indeed tend to
lamb from December onwards, but it could be any time from then through the
first third of the year - the sacrificial lambs of Passover are testament
to that.

As has been said elsewhere, December 25th was deliberately chosen by the
Church as an arbitrary date for celebration of the birth of Jesus to
coincide with solstice festivals, which of course meant that conception
ceremonies would coincide with spring fertility festivals. (After all the
gestation period of a god is clearly nine months, how could it be anything
else?)
